What resources are available to support my academic or nonacademic job search?
How long does a job search typically take, and what should I be doing right now?

Is a Faculty Job Right for You? (Beyond the Professoriate)


	Wednesday, September 16 11:00am - 12:00pm


	Online Event


	Add to Google Cal, Outlook, Yahoo, iCal

Many doctoral students and postdocs enter their PhD program with the goal of becoming a university professor. But today’s academic job market is highly competitive, and a tenure-track role may not be the right fit for everyone. As your values, life circumstances, and career goals evolve, it is important to reassess what career paths align with your personal and professional needs.

So how do you decide if a faculty job is right for you?

Join the Beyond Prof team for this webinar where we’ll walk you through the key factors to consider as you evaluate whether a faculty career is the right path for you. PhDs are building careers in a wide range of roles — both within and beyond academia — and understanding your options is an important first step.

This webinar is designed for doctoral students, PhDs, and postdocs from all academic disciplines who are wondering:

How do I know if pursuing a faculty position is the right choice for me?
How long should I stay on the academic job market?
What are my options if I decide not to pursue a tenure-track path?
